PL2015 ➽ WEEK 22 // SEMAINE 22 (Convocation)

Hello dear Friends! Today, I'm back with the big PROJECT LIFE (Becky Higgins). As I've mentioned last week, WEEK 22 was the week we went to Montréal to see our first born graduate from McGill University on Friday and leave the next day to go teach in England. It took me several days to complete it as I insisted on using as many pictures as possible...

At first, I thought I would try to use cards that would match the colors of our clothes but I quickly gave up the idea as I realized it would just be "too much". Instead, I stuck to white, touches of black and gold...

The events on these last two pages took place on Saturday and Sunday. One minute, we were visiting, walking, eating, basking in the sun and another we were taking Gabrielle to the airport and crying our hearts out! Gabrielle arrived in London as we were taking off to go back home to Chicago.

What a roller coaster of emotions Alexandra. How proud you must be but so sad to see your girlie leave for England. Your photos are amazing and the gold and black and white touches work so well. I hope she is enjoying L.A (that is a joke over here with my Hb for Littlehampton!) x

What a wealth of beautiful memories of this so special occasion. Loved the bursts of color tucked in among the black & white. Big hugs as I know you must be missing her so much. Yet at the same time, so proud she is stepping out on her own journey in life. TFS your family's so special time. Hugs

Beautiful! I'm so glad you included so many photos from this awesome week, and I love your neutral + gold color palette! So pretty, and yes, I can only imagine the roller coaster of emotions! What an amazing young lady you have there!

Wow Alex, what amazing pages! I don't blame you for wanting to include as many pictures as you could - they're all so beautiful! Great job arranging them - love the black, white & gold accents. Thanks for sharing and congratulations to your daughter!
